Record review: Napoleon Wright II's dichotomy

You may not recognize the name, but if you've interacted with Triangle hip-hop at all during the last several years, you likely know Napoleon Wright II's work. His production, singing and directing have established him as one of the area's most abundantly creative people. Only a month ago, he issued the six-song EP GIVENTAKE, produced with collaborator Jared Wofford under the name ART NAP. Already, he's returned with a new instrumental LP, dichotomy, a whirlwind of a record that reinforces his productive reputation.
